| 1 | Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. | 1Ki 13:2 2Ch 34:1 2Ch 34:2-33 Jer 1:2 Zep 1:1 Mt 1:10 |
| 2 | He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and didn`t turn aside to the right hand or to the left. | 2Ki 16:2 2Ki 18:3 2Ch 17:3 2Ch 29:2 Pr 20:11 |
| 3 | It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Yahweh, saying, | 2Ch 34:3-8 2Ch 34:9-33 |
| 4 | Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of Yahweh, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people: | 1Ch 6:13 1Ch 9:11 2Ch 34:9-18 |
| 5 | and let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair the breaches of the house, | 2Ki 12:11-14 |
| 6 | to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house. |
| 7 | However there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully. | 2Ki 12:15 2Ch 24:14 |
| 8 | Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh. Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it. | Dt 31:24-26 2Ch 34:14 2Ch 34:15-28 |
| 9 | Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh. | 2Ki 22:3 2Ki 22:12 2Ki 25:22 Jer 26:24 Jer 29:3 Jer 36:10-12 Jer 39:14 Jer 40:11 Jer 41:2 Ezk 8:11 |
| 10 | Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book. Shaphan read it before the king. | Dt 31:9-13 2Ch 34:18 Ne 8:1-7 Ne 8:14-7 Ne 8:15-7 Ne 8:18-7 Ne 13:1 Jer 36:6 Jer 36:15 Jer 36:21 |
| 11 | It happened, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes. | 2Ki 22:19 2Ch 34:19 Jer 36:24 Jl 2:13 Jon 3:6 Jon 3:7 |
| 12 | The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king`s servant, saying, | 2Ki 19:2 2Ki 19:3 2Ch 34:19-21 Isa 37:1-4 |
| 13 | Go you, inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us. | 2Ki 3:11 1Ki 22:7 1Ki 22:8 1Ch 10:13 1Ch 10:14 Ps 25:14 Pr 3:6 Jer 21:1 Jer 21:2 Jer 37:17 Ezk 14:3 Ezk 14:4 Ezk 20:1-3 Am 3:7 |
| 14 | So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her. | Ex 15:20 Jg 4:4 Mic 6:4 Lk 1:41-56 Lk 2:36 Ac 21:9 1Co 11:5 |
| 15 | She said to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Tell you the man who sent you to me, | 2Ki 1:6 2Ki 1:16 Jer 23:28 |
| 16 | Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the inhabitants of it, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read. | 2Ki 20:17 2Ki 21:12 2Ki 21:13 2Ch 34:24 2Ch 34:25 |
| 17 | Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched. | Ex 32:34 Dt 29:24-28 Dt 32:15-19 Jg 2:12-14 Jg 3:7 Jg 3:8 Jg 10:6 Jg 10:7 Jg 10:10-14 1Ki 9:6-9 Ne 9:26 Ne 9:27 Ps 106:35-42 Jer 2:11-13 Jer 2:27-13 Jer 2:28-13 |
| 18 | But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus shall you tell him, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: As touching the words which you have heard, | 2Ch 34:26-28 |
| 19 | because your heart was tender, and you did humble yourself before Yahweh, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you, says Yahweh. | 1Sa 24:5 Ps 51:17 Ps 119:120 Isa 46:12 Isa 57:15 Isa 66:2 Isa 66:5 Jer 36:24 Jer 36:29-32 Ezk 9:4 Ro 2:4 Ro 2:5 Jm 4:6-10 |
| 20 | Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil which I will bring on this place. They brought the king word again. | Gn 25:8 Dt 31:16 1Ch 17:11 2Ch 34:28 |
